Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

The store was especially lively on New Year's Eve.

Some people held up cups and counted down to play games, while others took photos around the small pot.

Waiters carrying plates moved through the aisle, their voices rising and falling.

Lu Xing placed the freshly cooked beef into Shen Qingyi's bowl.

"This one's ready, try it!"

Shen Qingyi obediently picked it up, dipped it in the sauce, took a bite, and her eyes curved slightly.

"Mmm, delicious."

Lu Xing smiled and picked up another slice for himself.

He picked up the plum juice, took a sip, and glanced at the shop's decor, feeling somewhat sentimental.

"Speaking of which, we first met at this very shop."

Shen Qingyi paused for a moment as she picked up some food.

"Um."

Lu Xing smiled and continued:

"It was right after the start of the semester. My roommate and I came to eat hot pot, and it just so happened that your dorm also came to eat."

He thought for a moment, then added:

"It was also in front of this store that you took the initiative to add me on WeChat."

Shen Qingyi looked up at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Student Lu remembers it so clearly?"

"Of course I remember."

Lu Xing was perfectly justified.

"How could I possibly forget something so important?"

Shen Qingyi was amused by him and lowered her head to take a bite of the meat slice.

Lu Xing looked at the churning pot in front of him, his voice gradually lowering.

"Suddenly, I feel like this hot pot restaurant is a witness to our relationship."

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Qingyi again.

"Before we knew it, we'd been together for three months."

Time flies.

As soon as she finished speaking, the light in Shen Qingyi's eyes flickered slightly.

The heat rising between them made her features appear somewhat blurred.

A few seconds later, Shen Qingyi raised her head again.

She took a bite of the meat, chewed it, and then looked at Lu Xing intently.

"Land journey".

"Um?"

"We must stay together for a very long time."

"May we walk together safely and peacefully."

Lu Xing paused for a moment, then nodded after realizing what he meant.

"Of course."

After saying that, he deliberately raised his eyebrows.

"I finally met such a great girlfriend, there's no way I'd let you go."

Shen Qingyi gave him a deep look.

After a long pause, the girl finally smiled.

"As long as Lu doesn't run away on his own, that's fine."

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Why should I run?

He put down his chopsticks and said seriously:

"Now I wish I could stick to you every day, why would I run away?"

Shen Qingyi's lips curved into a smile.

"That's good."

……

By the end of the hot pot meal, both of them were quite full.

As Lu Xing stepped out of the hot pot restaurant, a cold wind blew in his face.

My face, which had been burning from the heat in the store, was instantly soothed by the breeze.

The commercial street was still bustling with people; the New Year's Eve festivities were just beginning.

The two held hands and walked slowly along the commercial street, as if to digest their food after the meal.

After walking for a while, Shen Qingyi remembered something and turned to look at Lu Xing.

"Land journey".

"Um?"

"I also made a reservation at a teahouse."

Lu Xing was taken aback.

"teahouse?"

"Yes, it's nearby."

Shen Qingyi pointed to the street corner ahead.

"If you'd like to go, we can sit for a while, have a cup of tea, and then go back to school."

Lu Xing was somewhat surprised.

"You have such refined tastes?"

Shen Qingyi smiled nonchalantly.

"My family has had a habit of drinking tea since I was a child."

"I just got used to it."

Lu Xing nodded.

"Let's go take a look."

"real?"

"Of course, I haven't been to a teahouse much yet."

Lu Xing looked down at her.

"It's not that you can drink tea and listen to music in a teahouse..."

Just as Shen Qingyi was about to say something, an electric scooter suddenly rushed out from the intersection next to her.

The car headlights were blinding.

The car suddenly darted out from around the corner, moving so fast that it gave almost no time to react.

Shen Qingyi was standing on the outer side.

Lu Xing's body reacted even faster than his mind.

He suddenly grabbed Shen Qingyi's wrist and dragged her behind him.

The force of the pull was so sudden that the girl stumbled a step.

Lu Xing, however, was thrown forward by inertia.

He lost his footing and instinctively braced his hands against the ground.

As my palm rubbed against the rough floor tiles, a burning pain shot through me.

"squeak!!!"

A screeching sound rang out as the electric scooter came to a stop in front of Lu Xing.

The front of the car was no more than half a meter away from him.

Lu Xing braced himself against the ground, his heart belatedly skipping two heavy beats.

The person riding the bicycle was a food delivery driver.

The other person was clearly quite frightened, sitting in the car with a pale face, while the insulated box in the back was still shaking.

He quickly got out of the car, put his hands together, and kept apologizing.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"I didn't see anyone just now, I was moving a little too fast."

"Brother, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"

Lu Xing looked down at his palm.

There was only a small scratch on my palm, with a little blood seeping out.

The wound isn't too serious...

He was about to wave his hand, but before he could say anything, Shen Qingyi had already walked out from behind him.

"You almost hit someone just now, do you know that?"

Lu Xing paused for a moment, then turned to look at her.

Shen Qingyi's face was pale, and her eyes were very red.

She stared at the deliveryman, her chest heaving.

"This is an intersection, not a racetrack."

"When you rushed out from around the corner, didn't you think about what would happen if there were people in front of you?"

The deliveryman quickly lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry..."

"In a hurry?"

Shen Qingyi's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Does being in a hurry mean you can ignore where you're going?!"

"Does being in a hurry give you the right to treat other people's lives like air?!"

Many passersby heard the commotion and looked over.

Some people stopped in their tracks, while others whispered among themselves.

Shen Qingyi did not utter a single word about dirt.

But every word he uttered was laced with suppressed anger, so sharp that no one dared to refute him.

"What if he had reacted a little slower?"

Shen Qingyi's fingertips were trembling.

"What if you hadn't stopped in time?"

"Do you think you can erase everything with just an 'I'm sorry'?"

The deliveryman was blushing from her scolding, but he didn't dare to say a word back and could only keep bowing.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

"I will definitely be more careful in the future."

Shen Qingyi was about to say something when Lu Xing finally realized what was happening.

He got up and walked over, reaching out to gently hold her shoulder.

"Qingyi".

The girl stiffened for a moment, and Lu Xing lowered his voice:

"I'm fine, I'm really fine."

Shen Qingyi seemed not to hear, her eyes still fixed on the deliveryman.

Seeing that the situation was not right and that more and more people were gathering around, the deliveryman quickly got back on his electric bike.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

After he finished speaking, he turned on the switch and quickly disappeared at the street corner.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the noise returned to the commercial street.

But Shen Qingyi remained standing in the same spot.

She stared in the direction the electric scooter had gone, her chest heaving violently, her face deathly pale.

This was the first time Lu Xing had ever seen her so excited.

His heart tightened, and ignoring the pain in his palm, he immediately reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"It's alright now."

He put one arm around her shoulder and gently stroked her hair with the other.

"I'm right here, look, I'm perfectly fine."

The moment Shen Qingyi was embraced by him, she finally lost all support.

She gripped Lu Xing's clothes tightly, and the next second, tears unexpectedly streamed down her face.

One after another, they hit the boy's chest.

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment, then hugged her even tighter.

"Don't be afraid, it's alright now."

Shen Qingyi buried her face in his chest, her shoulders trembling slightly.

She cried in a suppressed manner.

Lu Xing's heart clenched tightly as he looked down at the girl in his arms.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

But he simply held her quietly, gently stroking the girl's back.

After a long while, Shen Qingyi finally spoke in a muffled voice in his arms.

"Land travel..."

"Yes, I'm here."

Shen Qingyi gripped his clothes even tighter, and her tears finally burst forth.

She buried her face even deeper, and said with almost all her might:

"do not leave Me……"
